75 Years after Hiroshima, the Nuclear Race is Escalating
75 years ago today, the USA dropped the first nuclear bomb ever used in conflict on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. Three days later, the they dropped the last nuclear bomb used in conflict on Nagasaki, Japan. The resulting carnage and immediate deaths of up to 210,000 people were just too horrifying and indescriminate ever to justify again. But today, after over four decades of controlling and reducing nuclear arsenals, the USA is cancelling or letting nuclear non-proliferation treaties expire, and budgeting $1 trillion for new nuclear weapons.
